Overview

• Rajiv Thakur said prior commitments prevented him from aligning with The Great Indian Kapil Show’s production schedule.
• He explained that the show’s 55-minute format prioritizes skits from Kapil Sharma, Sunil Grover and Krushna Abhishek as well as a guest segment, limiting remaining airtime.
• Thakur quipped that no one takes rest on such a large show, suggesting he had been dropped by producers.
• He recounted instructing child co-performer Saloni Daini to mock him on Comedy Circus rather than vice versa.
• A self-deprecating punchline about living on a child’s salary was taken literally and spawned a “boring” label that he says harmed his career.
